Thanks for the analysis and insight, Curt. Not much else to speak of, except for one Celtics home game next Wednesday at the Garden.

Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam and Lieut. Colonel Atnafu Abate, had survived the shooting "safe and sound." Here was a tip-off that the incident was not a coup against the military council itself but more of a power struggle within the Dergue between Mengistu and Atnafu and pro-Benti officers...
